Some seven or eight hundred years ago, Hangzhou, known as Ling'an then, was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, watching the tidal bore was already a grand occasion in town when the whole population would turn out for the spectacle. The best time to do this was from the 15th to the 18th of the eighth month of each year. But beginning from about the tenth day of the month, that part of the river bank that offered the best vantage point for ride watching would already be a busy gathering place for little open-air booths and stalls where vendors piled
colourful wares on their carts or boxes. There would be all kinds of snacks and cooked meats in shining
pots and pans. The taverns and restaurants would put up mulfi-coloured lanterns and flags or pennants, displaying meanwhile an attractive array of meat and vegetable dishes with a lot more exotic delicacies on the menu. In the tea-houses would be hung painting scrolls and calligraphy scrolls by famous artists while the antique vases would be filled with flesh flowers. In addition, there would be vendors displaying plasters and medicinal herbs for sale on the ground, roving artists with their monkeys for variety, shows or folk artists ready to entertain the crowds. Even before the days of the tidal bore, these people would be gathered on the river bank doing whatever they could to attract pleasure-seekers. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people, visitors from other towns as well as local residents of Ling' an, would be hustling and bustling about, clogging up the way and making traffic impossible. In the large riverside mansions that lined the banks, there would be opulently dressed men and women, some leaning against the windows or the balconies looking into the distance and some looking down gazing fixedly at something going on down below.

(2)
Vacation travel, a pleasant travel, is one of the faster-growing segments of the tourism industry. These travelers seek enjoyment and pleasure for their travel.
Vacation travel is typically price-sensitive and often concerned with the particular time of day or day of week schedules. Vacation travel has been heavily promoted by the airlines for Saturday and Sunday travel when their transport capacity is not heavily used by business travelers. Further, the vacation travel market is where the airlines often offer lower fares. These tickets often have many restrictions designed to prevent regular business travelers from switching to the lower fares. For example, the super-saver fare requires the passenger to stay at the destination over a Saturday night. Such fares are not good during certain heavy holiday periods or Monday to Friday flights, or they constitute only
a small number of seats on flights that normally would not be filled by full-fare business passengers.
The vacation market is an important one to Florida, the Caribbean, Colorado, and Vermont during the winter months for sun and ski vacations. The United States to Europe and the United States coast to coast are strong vacation markets in the summer. Travel agents and tour operators are heavily involved in the vacation market. Charter bus trips and tours are also major parts of the vacation market.
The vacation travel market is also splintering into “boutique” travel niches as well. These are specialty vacations in which recreation and/or rest at a hotel or on a cruise ship are not the major elements of the trip. Trips in this category that have become increasingly popular in recent years include viewing rare animal life at the Galapagos islands, whale watching in Baja California, hiking in Nepal, photographic expeditions in the wilds of Alaska or the Northwest Territories,
safaris in Africa, and nature cruises up the Amazon River. These trips typically are educational; they often employ naturalists who give speeches and show films relating to the site on the trip
21. Business travelers usually take ______ airplanes.
A. weekend
B. weekday
C. holiday
D. particular time
22. Vacation travelers always seek _____ offerings.
A. restricted
B. meal-included
C. weekend
D. low-price
23. “Boutique” travel niches in this passage means ______.
A. specialized purpose travel
B. photographic expeditions
C. traveling for shopping purpose
D. nature loving experience
24. Vacation travel is a very important segment in _____.
A. vacation market
B. charter tourism
C. tourism market
D. specialized market
25. During educational travel the tourists usually see ______ and wildlife.
A. rare animals
B. safaris
C. Amazon River
D. naturalists

long-standing history, brilliant ancient civilization, stunning natural beauty, and multiethnic culture. This uniquely combined natural and cultural resource base has become a major asset for China in its effort to develop tourism. Located in the southeastern part of Eurasian Continent on the western shores of the Pacific Ocean, China is the third largest country in the world with a total land area of 9.6 million square kilometers. Its geographic environment and physical landscape are enormously diverse due to the north-south differences in latitudes and the east-west variations in landform and moisture. China is a mountainous country. Hills, mountains, and plateaus cover two-thirds of the total area. The general topography descends from the high plateaus in the west to the lower-lying plains in the east.
72. Professional travelers are similar to business travelers in many ways, although this type of travel
is more elastic than business travel. Professional travel is built around the meeting and convention markets. These markets have grown as transportation, especially by air, has become more available and affordable. As professional travel continues to grow, new and expanded meeting and convention facilities have been developed to satisfy this increasing demand. Along with this growth, new management challenges have arisen to serve this specialized market. Some of the key market segments for meeting participants or attendees are associations, businesses, exhibitions and trade shows, religious organizations, political parties, and governments.

should decide on the best answer and write it on the ANSWER SHEET 、(40 points, 2 points each) Passage 1 Queen Elizabeth II’s pronunciation of English has been infected by her subjects, Aussie scientists say 、 Phoneticists from Sydney's Macquarie University studied archive recordings of the Queen's annual Christmas message to the Commonwealth from the 1950s to1980s, analyzing her Majesty's vowels 、 They then compared those vowels with the standard accent of southern England, as used by female British broadcasters on the BBC in the 1980s, to see how the royal accent had changed 、 Their conclusion: the cut-glass speech of the early years of the Queen's reign has become —how shall we say —somewhat commoner over the years 、 That in itself subtly mirrors the changes is Britain, from a country with a rigid social hierarchy(等级制度)four decades ago to one where class differences have blurred and in some areas disappeared 、 “The Queen's pronunciation of some vowels has been influenced by the standard southern-British accent of the 1980s which is more typically associated with speakers who are younger and lower in the social hierarchy,”the researchers say 、 Standard speech in southern England has been influenced by Cockneys(伦敦人), whose accent was initiated by Dick Van Dyke in the Walt Disney movie “Mary Poppins 、” Purists will be reassured that the Queen's “Hice (house) of Windsor ”will not become the Ouse of Windsor ”(by dropping the ‘h ’) in the foreseeable future 、 However, there have been changes in 10 out of the 11 vowel sounds in the standard English 、 These changes bring her speech closer to that of her Cockney subjects, the researchers found 、 An example of this is the way in which she pronounces “had ”、In the 1950s, the royal pronunciation of this word almost rhymed with “bed ”、But 30 years later, it had migrated halfway to the standard southern English pronunciation, which rhymes “had ”with “had ”、 The Australian team say the pronunciation of all languages alters subtly over time, mainly because of influence from the young, and it is foolish for anyone to try to prevent change 、 “The chances of societies and academies successfully preserving a particular form of pronunciation against the influence of community and social changes are unlikely,” they say 、 The research was published December 21 in Nature , the British science weekly 、 1、Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage? [A]The pronunciation of all languages changes subtly over time 、
